Observing the Content of Consciousness Public Talk ? Madras (Chennai), 1977-78 In this compelling public talk, J. Krishnamurti explores the nature and content of human consciousness. He asks whether we can observe the movement of thought, fear, memory, desire and conflict without judgement, choice or distortion. Is the observer truly separate from what is being observed, or is the observer itself part of the same conditioned consciousness? Krishnamurti challenges the listener to look directly at the structure of the mind and to discover whether complete attention can bring about a fundamental transformation. A profound enquiry into self-knowledge, awareness, conditioning and the possibility of freedom from the known.
